Why is so much data on LHD services and personnel needed for the COOP planning process?

Since the impact of a pandemic influenza event will be primarily on human resources, it is necessary to collect information on existing personnel and the LHD services that they deliver. It is imperative to know exactly how many staff and other resources are required to continue to provide a needed service during a pandemic influenza event. The data collected by LHDs is intended to be used for emergency planning purposes only and should not be used to estimate optimal workforce during non-emergency conditions.
